My plans are to locate my new AP7 75 ft. from my Gold Router using cat 8/ 26 ga wire. What is the max cable length that Firewalla techs would recommend ? When should an install move to fiber to lengthen the router to ap reach ? Google gave me opinions but I would like a product designers opinion please.

  Are you passing 10Gbit traffic? if you are, I believe CAT6a can do > 55 meters (or may be 100meters)... so you should be fine with 75ft

  (do make sure you buy the cable from a reputable source, not all cables are built equal when you run them for a bit longer than 100ft)
